Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome & Fictitious Disorder - The Olivia Gant Story

Hey yall - I'm back! I managed to get one episode up for the
month of November in the nick of time. Shout out to my sister,
Happy Birthday Lo! Here's an interesting episode where I am
channeling my inner Spooky Psychology (GREAT podcast) to talk
about Munchausen Syndrome and Fictitious Disorder, famously
brought into the limelight by the recent movie, The Act, about
Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Instead of going over this story I decided
to focus on an ongoing trial with the story of Olivia Gant and
her mother, Kelly Turner. Turner supposedly has demonstrated
Munchausen by Proxy that resulted in the death of her daughter,
Olivia. Lets take a *small* dive into this story and explore the
possibilities. Hopefully, we will have an updated episode after
this trial has concluded. Stay tuned SOOTA listeners!
